MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Next time you pass by a big tanker truck, try not to remember this one. It's a report from our affiliate KOCO in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (voice-over): This is an incredible home video, just minutes after the tanker exploded, sending a fireball rocketing to the sky.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Motor oil just moved like you wouldn't believe on that tanker, just (UNINTELLIGIBLE) of flame shooting up.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The semi in the center of it all is filled with gasoline and diesel, which is now fueling the flames. Somewhere in the smoke are three charred vehicles and the drivers that were in them.

Greg Parsons (ph) helped pull one lady out alive, her amazing rescue caught on his home camera.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Help me please! I'm burning (ph).

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Where are you?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm over here. Help me. Help me please! Help me!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Keep coming!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She had gotten lost into the smoke and ran into the barrier, and just had to just go in and find her.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

O'BRIEN: Interstate 35 was closed for 10 and a half hours. It has since reopened. That report, again, from our CNN affiliate KOCO. Thanks for that.
